The government of Venezuela has mandated a restructuring of the educational system. The six years of compulsory schooling, under the Organic Law of Education (1980) now in effect, will become nine years of compulsory education--the Basic School level. Elementary school teachers, formerly required to have only a secondary level degree, must now obtain a higher education degree. / The Ministry of Education has determined the competencies defining the new teacher's profile. Thus, the study sought to answer: (1) What are teachers' perceived needs regarding the legislatively mandated Basic Education competencies? (2) What level of inservice education do teachers feel is required for these competencies? (3) What are teachers' preferences concerning the strategies to be used in inservice education? / Venezuelan elementary school teachers generally agreed that the professional competencies are highly necessary, and that considerable inservice education opportunities are needed to acquire them. Teachers' preference is for the traditional strategies of inservice education--formal education in higher education institutions, combined with workshops, seminars and study groups. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 44-11, Section: A, page: 3361. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1983.
